THE BIG PICTURE
Let the Real Chaos Begin,Buckle up. – “The same motive power that propelled Donald Trump’s electoral victories in 2016 and 2024 propelled his disastrous midterm repudiation—fear and loathing of government. There is no unconditional love in politics. Trump was elected to upend the ruling caste, which, among his supporters, is even more despised than the government. He didn’t do it, and has repeatedly demonstrated that he’s just another paid-up member. The Epstein case continues to rankle because it so clearly involves prominent members of that caste. What also can’t be hidden is that the war was launched at the behest of Benjamin Netanyahu and the Jewish lobby. They have an extraordinarily powerful and unhealthy influence on Trump. France is the preview of coming attractions. The French government and its would-be destroyers face the same problem—there’s not only no money, but the future has essentially been spent as well. The French are merely the first in line.” – Robert Gore – HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE ROBERT HAS WRITTEN ANY ARTICLES, BUT EXCELLENT ANALYSIS AS USUAL!!!

The nauseating hypocrisy of Greta Thunberg – “She now laughs at eco-activists because she has moved on to the new Current Thing: blindly hating the Jewish State. Has the high priestess of planetary doom finally tired of her own apocalypse? That clip of Greta Thunberg guffawing upon being told that kids are still bunking off school every Friday to bewail Man’s burning of Earth suggests she might have. She was being interviewed for a documentary about 21st-century activism. There’s a ‘Fridays for Future’ gathering in Berlin today, the host tells her. ‘Really? They still do that?’, she says, before cackling wildly in her dumb Richard III haircut. ‘Cut!’, she then cries. But you can’t help wondering how those German schoolkids must feel when they see the founder of their idiot movement ripping the piss out of it. It was in 2018, when she was 15, that Thunberg became the most famous brat on Earth by skipping school on a Friday to sit stony-faced outside the parliament of her native Sweden in protest at the climate apocalypse” – Brendan O’Neill
Quantity vs. Quality – “When my first wife was dying of cancer, I heard this a lot. The doctors would often ask, “Which do you want—quality of life, or to live longer?” Well, to tell you the truth, I don’t think they ever got that far and actually asked us that to our face. But it felt like they did, and certainly with the decisions we were making day in and day out, it was definitely on our minds. I would typically blurt out, “I want both! Dammit!” So did Janice. But it was just as often made clear to us that we couldn’t have both, and that we had to choose one over the other.” – Todd Hayen, PhD, RP

Route 66, a quintessential American road trip heavy on kitsch and history, turns 100 – “If you’ve ever planned to motor west and take the highway that’s the best, this might be the time: Route 66 turns 100 this year. The Mother Road, as author John Steinbeck dubbed it, has evolved over the years from an escape for poor farmers fleeing the devastating dust storms of the 1930s to perhaps the quintessential American road trip that’s still delivering kicks. Although there have been faster and more direct routes between Chicago and Santa Monica for some time, Route 66’s neon still burns brightly and its vintage signs beckon travelers to restored motor lodges, classic diners and roadside attractions.” – Susan Montoya Bryan
Nvidia Pulled Apart by China vs Israel in Game of Chin Na – “The Absolute Power of The Media. It has been revealed that there is zero evidence of Alice Huang being a Chinese spy. But given the media coverage, 75% of the people take it as the Gospel Truth. Why? 1) China has been nominated as the Bad Guy for decades, 2) People will inherently believe bad news and question good news, 3) People join bandwagons so they don’t get left behind. The story is based on nothing. The concept is a coup. While Nvidia’s super dooper chip was banned from being directly sold to China, any third party country could buy the chip and resell it to China legally. Huang recognized this flaw and offered to Trump to open the direct China sales gate given the revenue sharing deal between Trump and Nvidia would increase gross revenues.” – Helena Glass

Prepare To Go It Alone, The Coming Financial System Collapse (VIDEO) with Bill Holter – “I mean, I’m going to ask, do you really care about the price?

The Inflation Hot Potato – “As we cover here a lot, inflation has been a ubiquitous and escalating problem in this country for a long time. Prices naturally fall as economies grow. It’s only because the political class was able to take control of the monetary and banking system over the last fifty to a hundred years that the sort of permanent price inflation we’re supposed to consider normal is even possible. In other words, inflation isn’t a new problem. ” – Connor O’Keeffe

Every Receipt Is a Witness Statement: How Ordinary Shopping Became a Permanent Credit Rating – “Four hundred times a shift, a cashier hears the same flat slap of plastic landing on the scanner glass. Nobody looks up. A woman in her forties digs the card out of a purse fat with others, lays it down, and the till begins writing. Bread, milk, frozen peas, two tins of tomatoes, a reduced chicken, forty-two pence off a chocolate bar. Then the payment, on a card ending in digits this shop has seen every second Thursday for six years. Attach an address and the basket has a household. Multiply by four hundred thousand similar baskets and the shop holds a working model of how a city eats in the week before payday. Ninety seconds of ordinary shopping, and one woman has been converted from a customer to a profile with a value attached. Companies she will never hear of buy that profile before the peas are in the cupboard.” – Milan Adams – KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN YOU BUY ANYTHING. NOT JUST GROCERIES.
